Chapter 3 - The Ancient Book Passed Down in the Family

The Nine Transformations of the Heavenly Dragon!

The Heavenly Derivative Medical Codex!

As the words entered Xu Hao's forehead, two pieces of information immediately appeared in his mind.

Subsequently, countless knowledge flooded in like a tide.

Xu Hao felt as if his head was about to explode, almost falling to the ground.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly, stabilizing his body in an instant, gritting his teeth, clenching his fists, and forcibly enduring the unbearable pain.

After three seconds, the pain disappeared without a trace, like a retreating tide.

Xu Hao was panting, drenched in sweat.

Those brief three seconds had felt like his head was about to explode, unbearably painful.

Suddenly, he felt warm streams flowing through his body, nourishing his internal organs and meridians, making him feel as light as a swallow while also feeling immensely powerful, as if he could kill a bull with a single punch!

At the same time, countless pieces of knowledge appeared in his mind: acupuncture, refining elixirs, making medicine, feng shui, dragon-spotting, fortune-telling, arranging formations...

All kinds of knowledge seemed to be branded, deeply imprinted in his mind, leaving a profound impression that he could never forget.

Among them, the Heavenly Derivative Medical Codex and the Nine Transformations of the Heavenly Dragon were particularly clear!

The Heavenly Derivative Medical Codex contained over 30,000 diseases' symptoms and treatment plans, comprehensive and inclusive.

The Nine Transformations of the Heavenly Dragon could continuously absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, transforming it into genuine dragon qi that circulated within the body, capable of transforming one's body, prolonging one's lifespan, and being all-powerful.

Looking at the book in his hands and feeling everything in his mind, Xu Hao was astonished, "Did the knowledge in this book enter my brain?"

Over the years, he had traveled far and wide and witnessed many things, but such a bizarre occurrence was the first time he had encountered it.

At this moment, a gentle breeze blew.

The book in his hands turned to ashes.

This scene was even more bizarre.

At this time, his grandmother walked over, nervously and worriedly saying, "Xiao Hao, you're bleeding. Come here quickly, let grandma stop the bleeding for you."

"Grandma, it's just a superficial wound, it's fine," said Xu Hao.

During his time as a mercenary soldier, he had sustained injuries far worse than this.

This small wound now didn't faze him at all.

His grandmother glared at him, "If you're injured, you must stop the bleeding! You're such a grown man, how can you not understand this? You still need grandma to worry about you."

She took out a clean gauze and pressed it against Xu Hao's bleeding finger.

Looking at his grandmother like this, Xu Hao smiled, feeling warm in his heart.

However, seeing the white hair on his grandmother's head, he felt a pang of sadness.

Over the years, he had been struggling abroad, living on the edge of life and death, and had not felt this kind of familial warmth for a long time.

At this moment, his grandfather walked over and asked, "Xiao Hao, did you see an ancient book?"

His grandmother looked puzzled, "What ancient book?"

Grandpa gestured with both hands to form the shape of the Heavenly Derivative Medical Codex and said nervously, "It's a book like this, very old, with small seal script written on it."

"It's an ancient book that has been passed down in our Xu family for over 300 years. Our ancestors would always bring this book with them whenever they moved, giving it special attention and studying it carefully."

"However, none of us in the Xu family can understand the book."

"Gradually, our ancestors stopped delving into this book."

"During the war, my grandfather's grandfather gave this book to me, and I've kept it ever since. I've also studied it carefully for a long time, but I still can't understand it. I only know that it's very important, so I read it several times every day."

"Did those hooligans destroy it? It's my treasure."

As he spoke, he looked around everywhere.

"Grandpa, do you recognize that book?" Xu Hao asked.

"Of course, even if it turns to dust, Grandpa would recognize it," Grandpa said.

Xu Hao held up the ashes in his hand, "Grandpa, do you recognize this?"

Grandpa glared at him, "What are you holding a pile of ashes for? It's not auspicious, put it down quickly!"

Xu Hao had no choice but to put down the ashes.

It seemed that once it turned to dust, Grandpa wouldn't recognize it.

After Grandma stopped the bleeding for Xu Hao, she also started to clean up, and Grandpa was also helping.

"Grandpa and Grandma, please rest, I'll do the cleaning."

Xu Hao quickly helped them sit down and started to clean up.

After about thirty minutes, he had tidied up the messy house, making it clean and dust-free.

"This child has become much more sensible than before," Grandpa said with emotion.

"This little monkey used to hate cleaning, but now he's much better," Grandma nodded, looking kindly at Xu Hao. "If I could see him marry, have children, and live a healthy and happy life, I would have no regrets in my life."

Grandpa nodded in agreement, "Yes, just living healthily is good enough, nothing else is important. Don't be like Xiaoqing..."

As soon as they mentioned Xiaoqing, both of them immediately teared up.

Xu Hao quickly walked over, hugged the two old people, and said, "Grandpa, Grandma, don't cry. Dad and Mom have gone to the school to pay for the surgery. Xiaoqing will get better once the surgery is done."

To be honest, he also wanted to go to the hospital and be with his younger sister Xiaoqing during the surgery.

However, he couldn't leave because he had to take care of his elderly grandparents at home.

In a family, there must always be someone to take care of the elders.

"Grandpa, Grandma, drink some water."

After Xu Hao finished tidying up the house, he handed a cup of water to both Grandpa and Grandma.

Grandpa took the water with a worried look and said, "Child, don't be busy anymore. Listen to Grandpa, quickly pack your things and go to the hospital. Don't come back for a few days."

"Why?" Xu Hao asked.

Grandpa's expression was full of concern, "Zhao Laosi is ruthless and vindictive. You beat him up before, he'll definitely find someone to retaliate against you. You need to leave quickly, otherwise, if they retaliate, you might get seriously hurt."

Xu Hao chuckled bitterly, "Grandpa, Grandma, what about you if I leave?"

Grandma spoke earnestly, "Grandpa and I are old and have lived long enough, but you must live well."

"Alright, Grandpa, Grandma, after you rest well in your room, I'll go out."

After much persuasion, Xu Hao coaxed Grandpa and Grandma into their room to sleep and then left. He called the gym owner, "Yuan Ge, help me find out where Zhao Laosi is now."

Yuan Ge, the gym owner, had some influence in the underground world and was well-informed.

"Xiao Hao, why are you looking for Zhao Laosi?"

"Just a small matter, I want to talk to him."

"Alright, wait a moment, I'll ask someone."

Yuan Ge ended the call and called back ten minutes later, "I've checked. Zhao Laosi is at the Shenlong Bar. It's said that he's drinking with a boss and asking him for help."

"That boss is not a nice guy, be careful and speak nicely, try not to get into a fight."

"Otherwise, if something goes wrong, I might not be able to protect you."

"Understood, thank you, Yuan Ge." Xu Hao ended the call.

Then, he hailed a taxi and headed towards the Shenlong Bar.

Strike first, strike hard! If Zhao Laosi wants to get back at him, he'll go straight there and take care of it all in one go!

Only after dealing with Zhao Laosi can he go to the hospital to see his sister with peace of mind.
